Coaching Package Text:
Variables include the are dynamics of your growth areas, your commitment,
concerted effort, advance your life
Life is inter-connected - one area affects the others. Just as one area advances and positively impacts the others, sometimes one area stalls out and the others suffer.
To advance where you want to be often takes time, effort, dedication, and commitment.
Getting where you want to go and enjoying lasting progress often takes clients 12 sessions (3-6 months depending on how frequently we connect). Offering 4-session increments allows us to track progress and determine what the right next step will be for you.
This package is ideal for creating a coaching relationship that will be most helpful to propel you forward
In this coaching package, the first session will be a "Get to Know You" conversation where I get to ask questions about your life story, including your values, strengths, struggles, and the direction you foresee moving forward. The sessions that follow will advance your goals in the priority order that you prefer.

Coaching Service Options
Two coaching options are available to clients. All sessions are scheduled for one hour.
Sessions can be scheduled below or by contacting me directly. If the session options available through the website do not align with your schedule, please contact me directly to arrange an alternate date & time that works for both of us.
Option 1: Single-Session Coaching: $55/session
Scheduling a one-time session is designed for two purposes.
-
"Test the Waters" Session - If coaching is new for you, scheduling a stand-alone session gives you the opportunity to experience the benefit of coaching on a topic of your choice and determine if this process is the right fit for you.
-
"Re-calibrate" Session - For some clients, life is smoothly following a great course! Then, a situation arises that creates a small obstacle and forward motion gets hindered. When that happens, all that may be needed is a stand-alone coaching conversation to help you process how to circumnavigate (overcome) the obstacle and course correct.
Option 2: Four-Session Coaching Package: $200 ($50/session paid in advance)
Most clients prefer a coaching package. The process of growth and change takes time... making a conscious commitment to dedicated time and exert effort toward the future you envision. Life is inter-connected - one area affects the others. Just as one area advances and positively impacts the others, sometimes one area stalls out and the others suffer. To advance where you want to be often takes time, effort, dedication, and commitment.

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
